Years later on, having walkedcalmly away from my former faith,I am left still ponderingwhere you find the wordsto describe, to teach the unspeakable,and how you use them to reachchildren who have no right to knowthe unspeakable, but who must,lest they later speak it.It was a generation ago for me, twofor them, three now for my owngrandchildren but the lossesthey know are staggering: Las Vegas,9/11, Manchester, Sandy Hook, and on and on and on and onand how do you help them graspthe number six million, 10 million, whenthey have but ten fingers,shielding their eyes from the horror.
